Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。高校2年生の桜木莉乃は、中学からの仲良しグループの男子・桐谷蓮が好き。 モテる桐谷に、自分の性格も身体も好きになれない莉乃は、気後れしてばかり。 ――女友達のままでいいんだ、本当の私を知って、嫌われたくないし―― 諦めようとしても、桐谷が「かわいい」「オレのことどう思ってる？」と思わせぶりなことばかりするから、やっぱりこの恋、止められなくて…！ ――そんな莉乃自身も、まだ誰も、気付いていない。 少しずつ、でも確実に莉乃の身体は手も足も、やがて全身が、まったく動かせなくなってしまうことに… この病いの名は、ALS（筋萎縮性側索硬化症）―― 「10万分の1」――ピュアラブの名手・宮坂香帆が挑む、残酷で幸福な運命の物語。。
